One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 604 Scared to Death
"Boss, no, Captain, the ID card processing has already started today. I went outside to take a peek and something seems to be wrong."

The eel fishman brother said to Vander Decken IX.

"Really? It's been so long since we've been working on this broken proof. What's going on?"

Vander Decken IX frowned. He had just finished a call with the other party and agreed on a transaction time. He hadn't even had a drink happily yet, but his little brother came over to make things difficult for him.

"Captain, I just got the news that the ID is not paper. Although you do need to fill out a form, that's just a prerequisite. I've seen that it's a small card. It seems that there's a machine that scans it and knows all your information, even your photo. It seems that our original plan won't work at all."

The eel-man didn't care whether Vander Decken IX was angry or not. After all, if this matter was not handled well, they would just disappear from this world. It was meaningless to care about whether he was angry or not at this time. He should just think about how to survive first.

"Damn Fishman Island, damn Dragon King Palace, they always cause trouble every day! Can you describe everything you saw to me in detail? Don't miss a single thing, please?"

Vander Decken IX first cursed viciously, and then began to ask about the details. The eel man did not delay and told the truth about all the group fights he saw when he went out with the crowd. The more Vander Decken IX listened, the more he frowned. Until he heard the patrol team start calling people from door to door, he could not help it.

"Idiot! Why didn't you tell us about this earlier! We're exposed! We're exposed! Damn bastard!"

Vander Decken IX slapped the eel man in the face, and the slap stunned the eel man. He didn't even realize where he was wrong. How did he suddenly get exposed? How did his captain see that?

"Damn it! They're calling people door to door. They're bound to notice the disappearance of those families. We must be exposed. Quick! Notify everyone! We must move immediately! Let's hide under the sea for a few days! Quick!"

At this moment, Vander Decken IX regained the caution and command ability that a captain should have, and immediately shouted loudly. Although the eel man had not yet figured it out, his long-standing habit made his body move before his brain, and he turned around and ran towards the door.

"Everyone get ready! We are moving! Everyone get ready! We are moving!"

The eel man ran and shouted, but he realized something was wrong. Why was the base so quiet? When he came back just now, he felt it was a bit quiet. He thought that everyone was still sleeping because they drank too late last night. But now it seems that it is not what he thought. Even if these guys sleep very soundly, they should not be silent at all, especially those who love to snore. They should snore loudly, right? Anyway, it should not be as quiet as it is now. Including himself, they don’t know what quiet is.

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

The eel fishman shouted at the top of his voice. They were in an abandoned underground warehouse. No one knew who dug such a thing under Fishman Street. The space was not particularly large, but it was no problem for more than a dozen of them to live here. But at this moment, the eel fishman felt that this place seemed to have become very empty. The oppressive darkness around him made him feel that he could hear his own heartbeat. What was going on?

"Hey! Is there anyone here? Don't scare me, you bastards! Next time I go out, I won't bring you any alcohol! If you don't come out, be careful of the boss, no, the captain will blame you!"

At some point, the lights in the room went out and he seemed to be completely trapped in darkness, so dark that he couldn't even see his hand in front of him. This made him even more nervous.

“Clang clang clang” “Ah!”

The sudden noise made the eel man jump up from the ground. He instantly took out two daggers from his waist and pointed them forward, but fortunately it was just a false alarm.

"Which bastard threw the can here? Do you have any sense of public morality?" The Eel Fishman said as he picked up the can on the ground. The silver-white canned fruit was a very popular brand in Fishman Island, from the Bankoku Above of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors. However, the Eel Fishman felt that it was a bit too sweet, so he never ate it. But now in this depressing atmosphere, something sweet seems to be a good idea.

The eel man thought about it and was about to open the can to taste it, but just as he raised the can, a barely detectable red light flashed on the silver-white surface of the can, and this made the eel man's heart, which had been slightly relaxed, tense up again in an instant.

"Who is it! Come out!"

The eel man's voice changed, and he fell into great fear, but still no one responded to him. Everything around him was still silent, so silent that it seemed as if it was no longer the underground warehouse. He seemed to have entered a different space. Everything around him turned black, and all the light was absorbed by the darkness, even his life. Yes, that's right, it was this darkness that devoured his companions, and now it was ready to devour itself. After itself, it would devour the captain, and then devour everyone who entered this room. That's right, hahaha, that's it, hahaha, that's it!

At this moment, the eel fishman began to have mental problems. To the point where they were so serious, some shadowy things began to appear in the darkness around him, like ghosts, moving towards him. There were flames around the ghosts. They must be will-o'-the-wisp!

"No! Don't even think about devouring me! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!!!"

The famous crosstalk artist Mr. Guo Degang once said (laughing) that fear at its extreme is anger. At this moment, the eel man fell into extreme impotent rage. He began to curse madly, waving the weapon in his hand wildly, and even ran straight towards the direction of the ghosts, but those ghosts seemed to not exist. No matter how he ran, he could not get close, and it even seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

But this does not mean that he is safe. On the contrary, a chill runs down his back towards his brain. He wants to turn around to look, but finds that for some reason, he cannot move. He can only stand there in a daze, like a fool, waving the dagger in his hand but unable to touch anything.

"No, no no no! Help! Help!"

The madness just now retreated from the eel fishman, and was replaced by uncontrollable fear. This fear made his hands and feet become more and more stiff, and at the same time a warm current began to spread along his crotch, but he could no longer care about these. He knew that if he did nothing, he would definitely be swallowed by the darkness. This would definitely be an extremely painful process. He didn't want this, so he chose to shout for help loudly, but unfortunately, this cry for help was meaningless. Nothing appeared around him. Instead, the gray-white ghost shadow seemed to be even thicker, and the shrill ghost fire began to get closer and closer to him, and was about to stick to him.

"No! Don't even think about it!"

At this moment, madness returned to the eel man again, but the madness that was just directed toward others turned into madness directed toward himself. He suddenly turned the direction of the dagger and pointed it at his own neck.

"Don't even think about devouring me. I will die! But I will only die by my own hands! I will also become a ghost! A ghost more powerful than you!!!"

"Pfft!"

The dagger of the eel fishman fiercely stabbed into his choking throat. With the splash of blood, everything in front of the eel fishman began to blur. Gradually, the ghost in front of him disappeared, but he had no time to celebrate his victory. On the contrary, in the last moment of losing consciousness, he found that the people standing in front of him had turned into a team of sea kings, and they were looking at him. "Scared to death, tut tut tut, what a good trick, Madam Lily."

"It's no big deal, but we already know what we want to know. It doesn't matter whether he dies or not."

Who are they? What do they know? With such questions in mind, the eel man closed his eyes forever.
